Explanation:

This is a subject-verb agreement error. When using "or" to connect two subjects, the verb agrees with the subject closest to it. Here, "my sweater" (singular) is the closer subject, so the verb must be singular.

Answer:

Bowser's books or my sweater fits in the outside pocket of the suitcase.
